Forgiveness: Former Findlay pastor, wife to discuss their journey

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 9, 2012 - 10:11pm

In July 2009, Dr. Chuck Sandstrom was the victim of a random, violent assault that left the former Findlay, Ohio, pastor with a severe, traumatic brain injury. But he and his wife, Auburn, chose to deal with their pain by reaching out to the attacker and his young family.

Now traveling to speak about their experience, the Akron couple will be at Bluffton University on Tuesday, Nov. 20, to discuss “Forgiveness as a Way of Life” at 11 a.m. in Yoder Recital Hall. The presentation is free and open to the public.
